Locomotive Records will unleash an important Global Warning by JON OLIVA'S PAIN on May 6th.

Oliva - singer/songwriter/guitarist/bassist/drummer/keyboardist - contents himself by just singing and adding some keyboard flourishes on this, the band’s third album. The band - drummer Christopher Kinder, bassist Kevin Rothney, guitarist Matt LaPorte and keyboardist John Zahner - smokes through 13 toxic cuts of metallic Hard Rock, sure to please fans of DOCTOR BUTCHER, TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA, CIRCLE II CIRCLE, Jon Oliva’s Pain and SAVATAGE (the bands Oliva’s played in during the course of his legendary career).

He’s been warming down in Florida writing this material and fine-tuning it, overcoming an obstacle that would have withered mere mortals: the death of engineer/co-producer Greg “Super G” Marchak. Oliva, who had already survived the 1993 death of his guitarist brother Criss (with whom he formed Savatage) marched on, teaming up with engineers Tom and Jim Morris from Morrisound Studios in Tampa.

As with the last album, Maniacal Renderings, several of the new songs are from tapes that Jon’s wife found in an old shoebox. “The new album is like a buffet,” says Jon. “There will be something for everyone.”

'No More Saturday Nights' was originally supposed to be a Savatage song. Now, it’s a bonus track for the limited edition of this CD.

Much of the material hearkens back to his Gutter Ballet and Streets eras. From the distorted vocals of 'Master' to the complexity of the breathtaking 'Firefly', Oliva, on Global Warning, has fashioned a Metal gem, one you would only expect from the man known as “The Mountain King” himself!

Tracks: 'Global Warning', 'Look At The World', 'Adding The Cost', 'Before I Hang', 'Firefly', 'Master', 'The Ride', 'O To G', 'Walk Upon Water', 'Stories', 'Open Your Eyes', 'You Never Know', 'Someone/Souls'.
